Letter: Rep. McHenry vote to end shutdown was right move

I Donít like Obama.are either (my familyís health insurance is going up by over $1,000 a year), but kudos to Rep. McHenry for his common sense vote to end the government shutdown.

Behaving like truculent children is unbecoming of Republicans. Instead, the focus should be on putting forward fiscally sound yet compassionate proposals that moderate Democrats can also support.

The Republican leadership has to rediscover and embrace its moderate, fiscally-responsible yet compassionate roots. If not, a third party will form, splitting the Republicans and ensuring Democratic dominance for the foreseeable future.
